But it's based on my experience, not just some random bias. 

I too am a mortgage agent based out of Hamilton Ontario, feel free to connect to chat anytime.

For example, leasing guidelines, make-ready scope of works and pre-approved budgets, procedures for dealing with late payments and evictions, etc.

His annual compliance report is clean he says.Owner had his Coam taken away and is the single owner running the show, an hour away from his home base. 

They wouldn't have done an appraisal, it would have been just negotiated based upon where the buyer thought they could make money.

If money is an issue for getting more properties, then find partners, or the seller finance thing, or start a pool for the down payment and go thru asset based lenders (that's my next play)...Having said that, as of Dec 1, I'll be managing my own STR since I'm firing my property manager.

I'm open to a plethora of positions so long as it is remote or not office based.

Having in count that I am planning to buy a commercial multifamily apartments, that the debt is base on the property and not on me, right?

Along with this, would the return metrics like ROI and IRR be based solely on the overall equity invested in the project, or would it be based on the minimum investment or each exact amount invested? 

Consider your options, weigh the good and bad, and make a move based on your own situation.
